OVERVIEW

Victor FBR-1 Heavy Duty Flashback Arrestor Pair

Safety is paramount in oxy-fuel cutting and welding operations. The Victor FBR-1 Flashback Arrestor Set (0656-0004) is designed to provide robust protection for your gas supply equipment. This pair pack includes one oxygen and one fuel gas arrestor, specifically engineered to mount directly onto the outlets of your regulators. By stopping flashbacks at the source, these devices protect your most critical components—the regulators and cylinders—from the catastrophic effects of a flame traveling back through the system.

The FBR-1 model belongs to Victor's renowned Flamebuster™ series. Each unit features a dual-safety mechanism. First, a built-in reverse flow check valve prevents gases from flowing in the wrong direction, which is the primary cause of mixed-gas explosions in hoses. Second, a sintered stainless steel flame barrier acts as a firewall, instantly extinguishing any flame that attempts to pass through the device. This combination ensures comprehensive protection against both backflow and flashbacks.

Designed for heavy industry, the FBR-1 arrestors offer sufficient flow capacity to support large heating nozzles and cutting torches without starving the flame. They feature standard "B" size (9/16"-18) connections, making them compatible with the vast majority of industrial regulators. The brass construction ensures longevity and resistance to the harsh environments typical of fabrication shops and construction sites. Invest in the Victor FBR-1 set to ensure compliance with safety standards and peace of mind during operation.

FAQ

A check valve only prevents the reverse flow of gas. A flashback arrestor prevents reverse flow AND stops a flame from traveling past the device. The Victor FBR-1 contains both.

The FBR-1 arrestors are designed to be installed on the outlet of the regulator, connecting between the regulator and the hose.

These are 'Heavy Duty' models designed to minimize flow restriction, making them suitable for most standard and heavy industrial torches. However, extremely high-flow applications may require specific calculations.

Yes, the fuel gas arrestor in this set is compatible with Acetylene, Propane, Propylene, and Natural Gas.

No, typically if a significant flashback occurs, the sintered metal filter may become clogged with carbon. For safety, if flow is restricted or a flashback has occurred, the device should be replaced.

They feature standard 'B' size connections: 9/16"-18 Right Hand for Oxygen and 9/16"-18 Left Hand for Fuel.

Using both regulator and torch mount arrestors can significantly restrict flow. Regulator mount arrestors (like the FBR-1) are often preferred as they protect the most critical components: the regulator and cylinder.
